Dam Mantle

[Guest Coalbucket PI]

Dam Mantle is an electronic musician who is good. He's been doing live shows all around the UK and Europe this summer and his live set is really great. The sound is hard to describe, it's often in the dubstep kind of tempo but otherwise nothing like it, he uses vocals and cut up samples expertly, dunno yeah? He's certainly not stuck in any genre and he switches styles a lot which I like.

 

Anyway, basically a good chap whos just getting going. Some things to check out:

 

Rebong, my favourite of his tracks, glorious cut up harp sample
